Ummmm Beer...

The five true Trappist ales are Orval, Chimay, Westmalle, Rochefort, and Westvleteren... After today, I only need to try one more... I found a bottle of Rochefort "8" (9.2%, 11.2oz) today and had to buy it... wow!!! What flavor! A heady nose of alcohol was quickly followed by chocolate, leather, raspberry spice and earth... a long, chocolately, mocha/ toasted almond finish went on forever... now I just have the mythical Westvleteren 12 to try...
